Need non-slip bath coating in Meadfoot?

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Non-slip bath coating in Meadfoot, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torbay and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Meadfoot: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Meadfoot?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Meadfoot?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Meadfoot. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in Meadfoot

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
